The Extended Gateway: a new project for Logistics Flanders

Due to its central location, close to all major industrial and consumption centres in the EU, Flanders has logistics advantages. Indeed, 60% of the EU purchasing power is located within a radius of approximately 550 km around Flanders. Even with the EU expansion and the increase of the buying power in the east, this will not result in a decrease of the consumption in favour of the East-European countries. Flanders will keep its proximity to the heart of the EU.
